...thanks for your participation last Saturday @ the Chambers Street Wines tasting / donation for Haiti.

In order to make our next Sunday Night Delicacie, we had to go to Newark on Monday for some shopping. We found amazingly beautiful salted codfish. Yes, you're not dreaming, Jose's back on track and he will cook a huge amount of BACALHAO, so this time we should have enough for everybody, and especially for you NORA!!! 

The exciting season of wine shows is coming up as some 09 cuvees are ready to be tasted and some older ones are done with their elevage and are ready to release their quintessence and show us the talent and patience of all those dedicated winemakers. Our commitment to serve you the cleanest terroir oriented wines will take us down to France for a few days, in order to find the "Diamonds in the Rough" that we'll be drinking along in 2010. Some classic "usual suspect" and some new comers.

For now, the Regnie "Grain & Granit" 08 from Charly Thevenet  just got in. Rich, complex with bold, ripe red fruit aromas, the way I like my Beaujolais!!! About Beaujolais, we're expecting the Morgon "MMVII" from Marcel Lapierre within 2 weeks. Made with old Gamay, it is for me one of my favorite cuvee from the Beaujolais (may be after "3.14" from Jean Foillard and very close to the Fleurie cuvee "L'Ultime" from Yvon Metras).

Also, a new pour by the glass with this Cotes du Rhone Village "Vaison la Romaine" 08 from Eric Texier. 100% Grenache, this wine is well structured while being very fresh. With ripe red fruits aromas, the finish doesn't fade away leaving your mouth ready for more.

Paris, here I am!!! Finishing up my writing, arrived in Paris this morning after a nice trip with Denyse & Jo, he usual lunch @ Le Verre Vole, ready for a night out in the City of Lovers on a Saturday night!!! Watch out...

Guilhaume, so when are you coming???

Congratulations to my friends, 3 baby girls born in 3 days between New-York and Paris and all 3 are first child. All my love to you all for the beginning of your new adventures!!!
